Mandatory Insurance Requirements for Small Businesses in Vermont

Workers' Compensation

If you have at least one employee on a full or part-time basis, Vermont requires you to carry workers' compensation insurance. Since Vermont is in such close proximity to other states in New England, you may conduct business across state borders or you may employ workers who live in other states. It's important to remember to include all of your employees under your workers' compensation coverage, regardless of whether they reside in VT or not. This crucial type of policy may provide certain benefits to an employee who becomes ill or suffers a workplace accident or injury. Workers' comp can help to alleviate the costs associated with the following claims:

Medical expenses

Partial lost wages

Job retraining

As a small business owner, securing workers' compensation can also help protect you from out-of-pocket costs for a claim related to a workplace injury.

Commercial Auto Insurance

If you own, lease, or otherwise use vehicles to conduct business in Vermont, you're required to have adequate commercial auto insurance coverage. In most cases, if you or an employee is involved in an accident while driving a company vehicle, this type of policy may cover the following exposures:

Medical expenses: medical care coverage for those injured in an accident, regardless of fault

Comprehensive coverage: compensation for damage to your vehicle from non-collision events, such as falling objects and vandalism

Other Small Business Insurance Options to Consider

While the following types of insurance aren't necessarily mandatory for every business in Vermont, each policy could provide essential coverage that your specific business could use.

General Liability Insurance

Mistakes, accidents, workplace errors, and injuries can lead to potential lawsuits. General liability insurance helps to safeguard your small business if you're sued by a third-party, helping to cover the costs of legal expenses and attorney fees.

Employment Practices Liability Insurance

While general liability insurance may help to shield your business against third-party lawsuits, it most likely won't protect you if a past or current employee brings an accusation against you for wrongful termination, harassment, or discrimination. There's where employment liability insurance can help.

Businessowners Policy

A businessowners policy can help you recover financially if your business is interrupted because of significant property damage or other covered misfortunes. It combines the benefits of general liability and commercial property insurance into one policy.
